Chapter 494: If you have no choice but to be responsible
The squad leader doesn't seem to be in a good mood, I can't see it from my face, but I can read it from my breath.
Huang Taiyi roughly understood why the squad leader was unhappy.
I don't know what the local customs are, but if you extrapolate from the current situation, it should be a fairly high-level courtesy.
It looks like a guest house or something like that, and although it is still shrouded in fog like a haunted house, the interior is still gorgeous.
Because he had explained that there was no need for a servant, Bishop Langu very simply sent the maid in the hall (?) And the guards were reduced to a minimum, and they also praised the emperor Taiyi and others for their simplicity and nobility, and the existence of knightly antiquity, and by the way, it was inevitable to complain about the current young knights' greed for luxury, exaggerated behavior, etc., and the old people in the world may be like this.
Since there is such a position as a bishop, of course there are religions in the world, and it gives people the feeling that religion does not seem to have such a high right to speak.
His actions may also have another meaning, which is to express an absolute trust, and to reduce the number of servants without hesitation is precisely to show that there is no intention of surveillance, and that no one will be restrained, even if he wants to.
"Squad leader, are you thinking about the battle plan? I want to go to the front line as soon as possible! β
Huang Scarlet Sword sat for a while and couldn't sit still, stood up and looked out, the fog was too big and he couldn't see anything, he was bored, so he came to the squad leader and wanted to ask if there was any plan.
She just thinks that the squad leader can come up with all kinds of clever ways to blow up the enemy.
"Hey...... It would be great if everyone could be as upright as you, I definitely don't mean to look down on you, I just want to sigh. β
The squad leader stared at Huang Scarlet's eyes without the slightest distraction for a while, slowly shook his head, and sighed.
The Emperor's Scarlet Sword is by no means stupid, but many things are thought about very simply, which is directly related to the world she was born in, in the wasteland where bandits are rampant, most of the time force is everything, people only know how to fight each other with violence, and people who know how to use intrigue are extremely rare.
"That...... What does that mean? β
Huangfei Sword was really dizzy.
"That means we now have to help defend the fortress."
Huang Taiyi explained on the side.
Mephistopheles and Si Ming were not at the scene, and for safety reasons, Si Ming was left in the car all the time, in the yard outside the window, and Mephistopheles was guarding her in the car.
"Huh? Isn't that kind of thing a matter to be taken for granted! β
Huang Scarlet Sword is getting more and more incomprehensible, and people who think too upright sometimes belong to the type that is difficult to communicate.
"That's pretty much it, it's really hard for you to think in the dark...... But that's a good thing, squad leader, what do you think? ...... the hell that count?"
Huang Taiyi decided to give up the idea of explaining the Emperor Scarlet Sword carefully, and instead asked the squad leader.
The ruler of the fortress, Count Sheld, who was also a local lord, traded his life for everyone's trust in the hero - while it seems to be so, it is indeed very tragic, but on the other hand, no one can now morally refuse the responsibility of "defending the fortress in his place".
Of course, it's not impossible to run away if you're cheeky, but you really can't do it, and everyone still has some self-esteem.
"It's because he didn't lie to us that I'm unhappy, there is no need to be a man, but he just did it, I have to imagine how troublesome it will be to defend the city, isn't it no different from being cornered."
The squad leader turned his back to Huang Taiyi, picked up the vase on the table, and carefully wiped it twice.
"Oh, I still don't understand."
Huang Scarlet Sword nodded confusedly.
I don't expect her to understand.
"yes, there is no second choice, it's not much different from cornering, at best, we may have to start from this aspect to save the world, and there's nothing wrong with starting early."
Huang Taiyi also had some misgivings about Sheld's sacrifice, and the so-called martyrdom probably refers to such things.
"No, it would be nice if it was really that simple, do you remember? There are humans like us in this world...... Well, we're not human. β
The squad leader's mood is finally not as bad as it was just now.
"Some of them are bandits!"
Huang Scarlet Sword can finally keep up with the leader's train of thought.
"What is the difference between a human with a machine body and a normal human? Are these two races at war? Which side will you stand on if there is a war? Will you end up having to fight our humans, who look like us, in order to save the world? There are so many things that can't be confirmed now, so it's very troublesome to stay here and defend the city. β
The squad leader's words made Huang Taiyi and Huang Scarlet Sword fall silent together.
Indeed, because it seems that the main quest is the main story in the game, I feel that defending the city is the main line, and there is no reason at all.
"So what the hell is going to do?"
Huang Scarlet Sword asked in a daze.
"It is not without sense to help them defend the city, first of all, they at least trust us, even rely on it, and there will be little resistance in the future. Secondly, we are in contact with the local aristocracy, which will be of great significance for gathering intelligence, and I also want to judge the level of combat effectiveness in this world, the best way is to fight, there may be a lot of trouble in the future, and it should not be bad to maintain the status quo at present. β
The squad leader put down the decorative artwork, turned around, and explained it to everyone in detail.
"I see, under the following has been fully understood...... Well, about 90 percent of the understanding. β
The Emperor Scarlet Sword finally had a chance to nod his head a few times.
"Then it's better to ask the person outside to explain more, it's finally time to wait."
The emperor looked out through the door.
Everyone was aware of several footsteps approaching.
Knock Knock β
The sound of a knock on the door.
After knocking on the door, there was a red, hornless and relatively long, not very stout mechanical human between the two soldiers who looked like entourage.
The term cyborg should be more appropriate.
"I'm sorry to disturb the rest of the Brave Lords at this time, Lord Langu should have received your permission, my name is Rom, and I am the first civil official in the city."
The visitor saluted politely, for he had said that he did not like to see others kneel, and seemed to have greeted everyone well.
"Ah, welcome, welcome."
The person Huang Taiyi wanted to see the most appeared.
"I'm sorry, but Lord Langu should have consulted with you personally, but now that he has a job in the city, he is also in charge of the funeral of Lord Earl Shield, so there is really no way to get out, and I am confident that I can answer most of the questions of Lord Brave."
RΓΆm sat down at the signal of the Emperor, waved his entourage to step back, and closed the door.
"Earl...... Does it take time for an adult's funeral? β
The squad leader asked first.
"No, the Earl explained before his death that the funeral was simple, but the soldiers and people in the city should spontaneously hold a relatively grand mourning ceremony, after all, there are too many people who admire the virtues of adults."
From Rom's answer, you can tell how much Count Shield was a beloved man.
The request of such a person in exchange for his life, although you can call it a kidnapping, but nothing is selfish, which makes people helpless.
"Who's going to be here next, state in advance, we won't stay here forever, because there's more to come."
The squad leader used a gesture to stop the blood boiling Huang Scarlet Sword, who was eager to run to the city wall immediately, and continued to ask.
"I understand that we have discussed this matter just now, and if Duke Ember allows it, it should be Lord Sheld's daughter Ingulit who will take over the title and the city lord, even if we really want you to stay here all the time, I am afraid it is impossible. When we ship Lord Sheld's remains back, the Ember will be eager to see you, and the Duke of Kea and the Duke of Vernes, who are far behind, will surely have the same thoughts. β
RΓΆhm is talking about the three dukes who essentially control the country of mechanical humans.
It seems that the status is equal, but there are some differences in specifics, such as the main responsibility of the Ember Gong is the front war, and it is said that he is also one of the strongest knights in the country, and he often fights here, so he should also be a warrior with little scheming.
The other two, the Duke of Kia and the Duke of Furness, are more of a civilian type, in charge of all kinds of internal affairs in the rear, supporting the battlefield, this is not a simple matter, the essence of war is logistics.
As for above the duke, there is also the emperor.
However, the Emperor himself seems to have been asleep in order to maintain the land where the mechanical humans live, and it has been like this since the large-scale attack of the Warcraft, so it seems that there is no way to communicate with him at present.
In the second place, the three dukes are good negotiators.
The lord at the forefront has died, and it is reasonable to report such a big matter to the top boss no matter what, and the same is true for the heroes.
"Understood, when the person you went to report came back, we will follow and set off immediately, and we don't want to interfere too much in your governance of the city in the time before this, of course, if there is a battle, we will not stand idly by, you are responsible for your battle, we are responsible for ours, is it okay?"
The squad leader's words are clearly not allowed to refuse.
The other party did not want to refuse, because this practice is in line with the legend of heroes, heroes do not know good and evil, so they will distinguish good and evil with their own eyes, and will not obey anyone in this world except for the Duke of Atolis.
"Naturally, we can't ask for it, as long as you agree to help, we are already very grateful, and we dare not ask for more."
Rohm had already gotten the best he had expected, and the hero was more approachable than he had imagined, and he was relieved.
"I have a small request here, I don't know if it will work."
Huang Taiyi asked with a smile.
